# 5.3. How do I embed an application in the panel?

It is possible to swallow small applications like xload or xbiff in the panel. To do this, you will have to add the lines:

     SwallowExec=...
     SwallowTitle=...

in the kdelnk file. The entry `SwallowExec` is the command that is executed to start the swallowed application. `SwallowTitle` is the title of the applications windows. This entry must exactly match the window title, as is is used to idenitify the window to show in the panel.

For example, a kdelnk file to swallow xload would read:

     # KDE Config File
     [KDE Desktop Entry]
     SwallowExec=xload -nolabel -geometry 50x50+10000+10000
     SwallowTitle=xload
     Comment=System load
     Type=Application

You can still use the `Exec` entry to specifiy an application that is launched when you click at the panel button. You could e.g. start top.
